20 Dollar Nose Bleed

Have you ever wanted to disappear

And join a monastery

Go out and preach on Manic Street?

Who will I be when I wake up next to a stranger?

On a passenger plane?

(Passenger plane)

Permanent jet lag

Please take me back, (please take me back)

Please take me back

I'm a stray dog sick

Please let me in, (please let me in)

The mad key's tripping

Singing vows before we exchange smoke rings

Give me a pen

Call me Mr. Benzedrine

But don't let the doctor in I wanna blow off steam

Call me Mr. Benzedrine

But don't let the doctor

Don't let the doctor in

It feels like fourteen carats but no clarity

When I look at the man who would be king

The man who would be king

Goes to the desert

The same war his dad rehearsed

Came back with flags on coffins and said

"We won, oh we won"

Permanent jet lag

Please take me back, (please take me back)

Please take me back, ooh

I'm a stray dog sick

Please let me in, (please let me in)

The mad key's tripping

Singing vows before we exchange smoke rings

Give me a pen

Call me Mr. Benzedrine

But don't let the doctor in

I wanna blow off steam

Call me Mr. Benzedrine

But don't let the doctor

Don't let the doctor in

Ba-ba-ba-ba benzedrine

My, my, my, benzedrine

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba benzedrine ah

Ba-ba-ba-ba benzedrine

My, my, my benzedrine

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba benzedrine, ah

Only one book really matters

The rest of the proof is on the television

Call me Mr. Benzedrine

But don't let the doctor in

I wanna blow off steam

Call me Mr. Benzedrine

But don't let the doctor

Don't let the doctor in, oh, oh, ooh

Have you ever wanted to disappear?

It's not me, it's you

Actually, it's the taxidermy of you and me

Untie the balloons from around my neck and ground me

I'm just a racehorse on the track

Send me back to the glue factory

Always thought I'd float away

And never come back

But I've got enough miles on my card

To fly the boys home on my own

But you know me: I like being all alone

And keeping you all alone

And the charts are boring

And the kids are snoring

And my egos in a sling

You say you're not listening and I said I'm wishing

And I said... I said
